Lily made lots of friends while at PetCo today.
Here she is shown flirting with some visitors.
She is such an awesome dog and one example of the many dogs available through the 4 Paws Society.
All she needs is a forever family!
Help us send our dogs to HWAC for a 3rd Chance at a Forever Home
Written by Sheila Gilley Monday, 18 January 2010 12:25
4 Paws Society has partnered with Helen Woodward Animal Center (HWAC) in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe, California (just outside San Diego) to help some of our rescued angels find the Forever Homes they have been waiting for.
You can check out their website to see what a beautiful facility they have.
Because we have many dogs who get looked over for adoption, they have stayed with 4 Paws Society for a long time and since our mission is to find them the Forever Home they deserve, we are willing to send them to Southern California to be seen and adopted by a new population of pet lovers.
This is a common problem in rescue groups where there is extreme pet OVERPOPULATION, like our SWLA community. As much as we love our angels like Prissy and Braxton who have been with us so long, our love leads us to fulfill our promise to them.....finding their new Loving Families.
The HWAC is a nationally known non-profit rescue center and runs many therapeutic programs to foster the bond and healing between animals and humans. We are so grateful to them for being willing to partner with us in our mission to put fabulous companion animals in adoptive homes.
They have a very high adoption rate and we are certain that this is the place our "Longtimers" need to be.
Please donate any money you can toward our "Transport Fund to Helen Woodward."
You can donate online through Paypal. Please put "For Helen Woodward Transport" or "CA Transport" so we know that is what you are supporting.
You can also mail your donations to P.O. Box 1129, Sulphur, LA 70664. Put the same note in the "memo" section of your check.
Also, we are conducting a raffle for Lia Sophia Jewelry and all proceeds will be designated for transportation costs to HWAC.
WE ARE AIMING TO TRANSPORT OUR DOGS TO CALIFORNIA IN MARCH 2010.

New Shelter Challenge Announced
One Foster Dog's Christmas
Because of the loe and affection Lucy received during Christmas from her foster family, she forgot for a little while that what she really wanted for Christmas, and now for the New Year is a forever home. In the meantime, it is obvious that Lucy is happy in her foster home and loves her foster mom!
Lucy is being fostered by the Thibodeaux family. Thanks, Thibodeauxs! We appreciate you and all of our 4 Paws Foster families. You mean the world to us and to the dogs you foster.
Santa Paws Delivers

Shelby Quebideaux, AKA, Santa Paws, brought our rescue dogs food, treats, and other goodies during Christmas.
On behalf of the rescue dogs of Southwest Louisiana under our care, we want to say "Thanks" to Shelby for being such a great volunteer and for helping to make a great Christmas for the 4 Paws Society pooches!
There are so many "Shelbys" that have contributed to the 4 Paws Cause. We appreciate all of you so very much.
Remember Lucy and Woodstock?

Lucy and Woodstock are so happy in their new homes that they decided to take time to visit us at the Pet Hotel. Besides sharing their happy tails, they also brought us a plate of cookies!

Adopt
The 4 Paws Society follows a protocol to insure that our resuce dogs are placed in loving homes.
As a Lake Charles and all of Southwest Louisiana dog rescue group, our volunteers are constantly
searching for ways to match dogs and people. If you are interested in adopting, please take time to learn more.
Next, complete the adoption application or give us a call if you have questions.
Foster
At the 4 Paws Society, we know that even a short term foster situation can improve the "adoptability" of a dog. If all you can give is 2 weeks per year, we will work with you. In hopes of growing our foster program, we are in search of volunteers to foster and/or help enhance this program. We ask you to learn more. If interested in fostering, please complete our Application to Foster.Homeward Bound Hounds
